    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

I just took my clutch apart to measure the steel plates in case they need replacing as well. They are within specs. How many fiber plates and steel plates should there be? I have 10 fiber plates in their?? is that right?
1980 GS1000G...
Thanks1

The OEM specification for your bike is 9 steel plates and 9 friction discs. If there are 10 each in your bike, a previous owner must have installed an aftermarket kit with an increased component count.
 
I have a Clymers manual for a Gs100G.Possibly the worst manual I have in my collection! The pic they have of the clutch setup is from a 850!

I was under the assumption that it was 9 and 9 from the factory diagram on BikeBandit.com . The fiber plates are .040 to thin! Almost gone! Looks like someone threw in some extra plates to compensate. that is why the clutch drags and slips both!!
Thanks guys!

True.

I remember Barnett included one extra of each with thier kits.
It's not unusual to find and extra plate.

How did the springs look? They can add to the slipping effect.
